SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 246,521, dated August30, 1881.

' Application filed May 19, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH M. LAUBY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Brodhead, in the county of Green and State of Wisconsin,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stove-PipeThimbles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,and accurate description of the invention, which will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The object of my invention is to so construct the thimlole as to easilyreceive the end of the stove-pipe and to so securely and closely tit andhold it in position in the chimney as to entirely prevent the escape ofany smoke, water, or soot from the chimney or thimble into the room oron the external surface of the chimney or 'ilastered or papered wall ofthe room thus preventing any soiling of the room from the chimney.

The nature of my invention consists in two short tubular flanged rings(the inner one being composed of the flanged ring proper and an innertubular projection for the reception thereon of the end of thestove-pipe) connected by a sheet-iron tube, and to which they aresecurely fastened by rivets and at the proper distance apart, so thatthe flange on the inner ring shall'securely hold the thimble from beingdrawn out of the chimney and the flange 0n the external ring firmlyprevent the thinlble from being forced or driven in from its properposition in the chimney.

Figure l is a perspective view of the thimble with a section ofstove-pipe in position, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view ofthe thimble.

In the drawings, ais the inner flanged ring; I), the outer flanged ring;0, the inner tubular projection for the reception thereupon of thestove-pipe, (marked (1;) e, the sheet-iron tube by which the flangedrings are connected, and f the set pin or screw by which the stove-pipeis held in position.

W'hat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

1. The combination of the flanged ring a, having the inner tubularprojection, c, for holding the stove-pipe, with the flanged ring I) andthe shortiron tube 0, connecting the tWo flanged rings and riveted tothe same, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the flanged ring a, havingthe tubularprojection0,With theflanged ring I), the tube 0, riveted to both rings, and thethumb-screw f, all constructed and arranged substantially as described.
